The Special Court in Mumbai today fixed 6th May for sentencing Ajmal Kasab in the Mumbai attacks case. The Move comes after the prosecution pitched for death penalty for the Pakistani terrorist and the defence pleaded for leniency given his young age. Special judge M L Tahaliyani reserved his judgement for Thursday after public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam and defence counsel K P Pawar wrapped up their arguments on the quantum of sentence to 22-year-old Kasab, who was held guilty of mass murder and waging war against the nation yesterday. Nikam described the killing of 166 people in the terror strikes as a rarest of the rare case fit for awarding death to the convict. He said Kasab was in a joyous mood after seeing people dying in pain and agony after opening indiscriminate fire at the bustling Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and elsewhere on November 26, 2008. Nikam cited nine Supreme Court judgments to show that the case fell in the rarest of rare category in which death penalty was necessary.<br/> <br/>In his arguments, the defence lawyer pleaded for leniency to be shown to the Pakistani terrorist on account of his young age and lack of previous criminal record.<br/> <br/>Meanwhile, while delivering his verdict yesterday, 17 months after Kasab and his nine Pakistani accomplices had unleashed terror on the country's financial capital, judge Tahiliyani had pronounced him guilty of mass murder and waging war against India.<br/>
